<TITLE>14. Par 80-85</TITLE>L-80   We stand in a similar trial this morning, the world over, a trial. All denominations has turned down the Word. I know this sounds very harsh. And I want the ministers who is listening, here present and those on tape, also, to try to understand this now, that I try to make it plain. But I'm holding my point, or making my point here, and saying that we are standing, today, in another Pilate's judgment hall.

L-81 You say, "If I'd a-have stood there, I'd a spoke out for Jesus Christ." And, well, what are you doing about it now? That's the thing. See? "No matter how much the church had turned Him down, I'd a stood by His side." You've got the opportunity. Uh-huh. See? They, they turned Him down.

L-82   Now He is tried, today, or just has been tried, or, and on trial, for a world system to be formed, of what's called, the council of churches, to--to--to form in the--in the World Council of church. Now, and what have they done? They have voted that they will absolutely unite themselves together and have a council of churches.
And in this Council of Churches, that all churches must belong to this council, or, if they don't, you're not even allowed to preach, you're not even allowed to have a prayer for the sick. And your church can be used for anything they want to use it for. If they want to store boxes in it, or ammunition, or whatever they want to do, you have no control of it at all. You either belong to the Council of Churches or you don't belong at all.
And that's the system that's being formed here in the United States, that fulfills the Scripture, to the dot. It fulfills what the Lord spoke to me in 1933, see, and we're standing at that time this morning.
And Jesus Christ, the Word, is at trial, today, as it was on the crucifixion, and now He's on our hands. He's on the hands of the world. The Word has been clearly identified, around the world, see, and He stands in on trial. All denominations turned Him down. And now He is tried as a... in the Council of the Churches, and they reject Him again and choose rather as they did then.

L-83   You see, the nature in history repeats itself, because nature continues the same. Trees still continue to grow, and vegetables come up, and flowers, and the world turns just as it always is. It's nature. And the nature of each age produces, again, and re-reproduces the--the reflection of what a--a--a nature was before them. And, today, we find ourselves again standing on that same place.
Now, Jesus was "the Word," Saint John, the 1st chapter. We all believe That. He was the Word. And because He was the Word... Please understand. He was the Word, and He had to be against the system.
And they did not--they did not reject Him because of His miracles. They did not. They said... He said, "Which can accuse Me?"
"And what evil had He done?" said the little lady. "What evil has He done but heal the sick?"

L-84   Said, "We don't condemn Him for these things." See? "We condemn Him because Him, being a man, makes Hisself God." And their own Scriptures said that He would be God.
In Isaiah, the great prophet who wrote a sixty-six Books of Isaiah, and starts off with the... At the first, like the beginning; and in the middle of the Book come John the Baptist; and ends up in the Millennium reign. And sixty-six Books in the Bible, like there is sixty-six chapters in Isaiah. It's remarkable it falls that way. This Isaiah 9:6, he said, "Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and His Name shall be called, 'Counsellor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, The everlasting Father, Wonderful.'"

L-85 And the blind traditions, or systems, could not see that That was God; by their own prophet, that who the Word came to, that said that He would be God. The blind systems! So they had rejected the Word, and desired a murderer instead, Barabbas.
